BACK!

As his holiday snap below indicates, Paddington has been so busy sunning himself on Ipanema Beach, that he has rather neglected his humble organ of late.



But all at Homo Ludens Towers are pleased to say that Paddington has returned to London, and is busily writing about matters Chinese, Latin and local (in between slapping blobs of moisturiser on his slightly bronzed fur).

Normal service will resume very shortly, but in the meantime, have a listen to Bat for Lashes' new single "Daniel," which is the nearest thing to a new Kate Bush single in the absence of the real thing (check out that Cloudbusting drum beat), as well as being rather wistfully lovely in its own right.
